Chic At Heart Collection

Fashion designer Nkem Olanrewaju’s Chic At Heart collection recognizes and accentuates the body shape of plus-size women.  The modern styling and clean tailoring offer a fresh alternative to conventional offerings.

Twenty years ago, models weighed on average eight percent less than the average American woman.  Today they weigh 23 percent less.  This pressure to conform to an unattainable goal is reinforced in plus size women because most retailers carry women’s sizes to size 14 when over half of all American women wear a larger size.  According to Olanrewaju, “Our slogan at Chic At Heart is to celebrate curves, providing plus-size women with great style and comfort that enhances their shape.”

The collection includes tops, dresses, skirts, jackets and pants.  All items are made in America and are hand-sewn to achieve the highest quality and best fit.  The rayon blend Cindy Peplum top ($279) comes in four colors and has three-quarter length sleeves and is partially lined for easy on and off.  The polyester spandex blend Lily dress ($295) has a square neckline with a solid chartreuse trim and removable belt.
